YunoHost

YunoHost is a Debian-based server system that makes it easier to run your own web services. It provides a web admin panel, single sign-on, a mail server and a catalog of packaged apps that install from the admin interface. It is aimed at people who want to self-host without configuring every service by hand.

Why it fits

It is licensed under GNU AGPL version 3. You can install it on your own hardware or VPS for private services without a proprietary panel license.

Getting started

Prerequisites (from the official docs):

  • A spare computer, single-board computer or VPS (YunoHost installs as a Debian-based system)
  • Network access; a domain is recommended for reaching the server from outside

Steps:

  1. Pick your hardware type on the official install chooser.
  2. Install YunoHost with the image or the install script for that hardware.
  3. Run the post-installation: choose a main domain and create the first user.
  4. Install apps from the YunoHost catalog through the web admin.

Official install guide: https://doc.yunohost.org/en/install/

Notes

Individual packaged apps have their own licenses.
